I am 60 and still have my own blankie! LOL

Ha ha, there is nothing wrong with that! I also got one a couple of Christmases ago that I still have and use -- it's a really fuzzy tan one from Target - it's nice for just cuddling and reading a book! Or something! LOL. I've also had a friend make me the kind where you tie the ends together and whatnot... I would love to learn how to make them but I get the feeling it must be somewhat difficult...

Are you talking about those fleece blankets that one wears like a robe or something? My daughter had one, gave it to me because she didn't like it and I used it once and saw why she didn't like it..lol However, I do have my own blanket, a blanket I might share, but rarely do. I know it sounds selfish, but I like a blanket to call my own and no one else can use it..

Enjoy your blankie..lol I have seen these blankets and they are so cute but have never made one. Our youngest daughter made one for her niece and it's so cute. I knitted a simple afghan for myself a few years ago and it's so warm. I used it all the time until this year when I bought a soft, fluffy, electric blanket. Smartest thing I've done in years even though the weather in our area hasn't been that cold this winter. Works well for cold feet!

I've never made one; but I bought myself a Christmas present of a Coz-e made by Ion. Basically it is a heated Snuggie. It's one of those fleece blankets with sleeves & is also an electric warming blanket & it comes in very handy during the winter!!! My desk is near a window & I wear it while myLotting to stay warm. The sleeves makes it very convenient for typing. Then when I get cold, I just turn on the heat. I've also found it very convenient when sleeping!!! I live alone & have no one to snuggle against on those cold winter nights. This Coz-e warms up quickly & I cover myself with it, tucking it under my legs & feet. It has only one drawback...it only runs for an hour & then it automatically shuts off. Once I get warm, I automatically fall asleep. I seldom wake up cold; but when I do, I just turn it on again & go right back to sleep. I'm bad about waking up up in the wee hours of the morning before I really want to get up. I've learned to just turn it back on one more time & I'll get another 3-4 hours of sleep before actually needing to get up!!! My Coz-e is rapidly becoming my blankie!!! I'm already beginning to stress over how I'll survive without my blankie come summer!!!

well why not everyone using it, especially for older people which are prone to sickness when expose to cold. I am just 30 yet I can't live without it, I can live without pillow but no to blanket

Hi jillhill, i'm proud that in your age you have done what you wish. In a little things you want in life that you reach is a great accomplishment, even thought it is a little things (blanket) but a things to be needed all the times in our life.

I have seen them, and they do look nice. Making a Blanket like this is not something I think I could do. For me it is usually crocheting that is up my alley, and someday would Love to make me an afghan to keep around the house to be able to cover up when it is cold out as well.

I've heard f those but I have Beverly tried to make them. They sound interesting, though.

I can't make quilts or blankets, but I come from families with grandmothers and great grandmothers who did. There was one blanket my great grandmother made that the whole family loved. Me, my sister, dad, mom...it got to be funny because we'd argue over who could use it in the winter. Well, mostly it was me and my sister arguing, but whenever they'd get the chance my parents would sneak it away and use it for when they were sleeping. We used it so much it literally started falling apart.

i once crocheted a blanket for my sister in law but the best blanket i have gotten for CHristmas was a fake fur throw. now that is warm!

Aww, that sounds sooo cuddly! It was so nice of your sister to do this and there is nothing better than a handmade gift coming from love, and especially one you can snuggle into! I've never made one but it sure does sound cozy. I wouldn't mind learning how to do that blanket, sounds wonderful. At night, I just snuggle one of my pillows (unless my kittie Rissa is next to me) and have my stuffed animals above me, lol! You're never too old to stay young...that's my motto.

I have a blankie too. I didn't make it...I am not so talented with sewing..LOL. I do however love love love fleece blankets. I also have some fleece pajama bottoms that are quite colorful which I can't live without. I think of them and my blankie from time to time when I am at work

It seems like we all have our personal blanket to sit and cover up with while watching the tv.No one here but me and my husband.Granddaughters even have their own personal favorites while they are here.I love to cover up.And I love the fleece.

I am heading towards 60 and I still have lots of things I had from my youth, but a blanket isn't one of them. I still have my own teeth, my own bank account, my own car, and my own thoughts. I'd loved to be able to make my own blanket as I was told I had made my own bed years ago and I had to lie on it, so an additional blanket would come in might handy.

I've heard f those but I have Beverly tried to make them. They sound interesting, though.

I have seen the blankets you are talking about. I have not made one. I think it is cool that you cuddle up with one. There is nothing wrong with cuddling up with one at any age.

You know, I've never made one of these blankets, but it is something that I want to do for the kids this year for each of their birthdays because I know that they won't take a long time to make, but they will be something that each of the kids will really like. My son does have one that was given to him when he was born almost five and a half years ago and he still sleeps with his (it has Tigger on it) every single night.

No but i've seen them. Looks very comfy.

I know many persons has such habit they cant take the others blanket and use their own blanket some time if they are going out of station they bring their blanket with them. But I think this is happened in small age but you take in 60 years thats nice.

That sounds like a great gift no matter what age you are.I feel that it is fine to have a best blanket that you can just throw on you or over you.I can remember making crochet blankets when I was younger with a friend and we made double bed size and gave them as gifts at christmas to our grand parents.
